Solution - easier?? than expected. I booted from a kubuntu 13.10 disc and noted that it gave me the nice 1680x1050 resolution that I wanted, so I re-installed kubuntu. Job Done.

[Dorset] NVidia graphics help please
Hi, I could do with some help. I recently installed a new Nvidia card and was able to get it working with a good resolution by trying to replace the 'nouveau' driver with the appropriate nvidia legacy driver. Then one day about a week ago after some kubuntu 13.10 updates it reverted to 1280x1024 which gives me quite a funny fat screen. I have tried all sort of things to get in back, but at one stage got it to 640x480. I cannot seem to get it working properly. This is what I just found in dmesg.

Re: [Dorset] NVidia graphics help please
It looks like you've got the newer version of the nvidia drivers which do not support the card you are using any more. According to the errors in that log, you need use the older, legacy package found here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-96.43.23-driver.html if you are running 32bit or here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-96.43.23-driver.html if you are running 64bit.

In searching for a clue I came across a command line to apt-get install the nvidia software and did it. I did already have the firmware download that you mentioned from the first time that I got it working. When I try and run this script I get this message and I don't know how to get around it. ERROR: The kernel header file '/lib/modules/3.11.0-14-generic/build/include/linux/version.h' does not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in '/lib/modules/3.11.0-14-generic/build' have not been configured. I don't know what to do to configure this file.
